Please read the whole thing.

Good read, but I disagree with the guy. BO is beatable.

Also, and I'm sure that there are plenty of FReepers who will disagree with me..... but I think that Palin is unelectable in 2012.

The MSM, like them or not, have been successful on the hatchet job they've done on Palin. Doesn't mean I like it, but I call 'em like I see 'em.

[sargon]

Quite simply, no one else in the potential Republican field will be as trustworthy to conservatives on the issues, and less likely to back down, than Sarah Palin.

That's what I believe. Who better to fight Obama and his minions?

I’m hoping that Sarah does run for President. Not only because I think she’d be the best one we’ve had for decades, but also if she decides not to run, that would send a signal to those who’ve been attacking her and her family that their methods work.

I am probably one of the few people to tell her to her face (after our January 2009 interview) that she can’t win in 2012, and, in act of even greater stupidity, I have most certainly harmed my last movie among Palin supporters by publicly stating the same opinion.

I have really tremendous respect for John Ziegler; I listened to his show on KFI pretty regularly and thought him right up there with my top picks: Rush, Levin, and Elder. And while I was disappointed when I heard him voice his opinion that she shouldn't run, I once again found myself REALLY respecting and admiring his candor. In fact, my regard for Ziegler is so high that knowing he felt that way (back then) about Palin made me seriously re-assess my own take on her, though it remained the same (I think she's a gift to the GOP and America and that she has as good a chance, if not better, of winning than any other potential GOP candidate I can think of).

THANKS, 2DV, for posting this. THANK YOU very much! FReepers like you make this site what it is.

A couple of things. First, this guy had a very similar attitude to mine about her running. And, like the author, I told her that, although I’d vote for her if she ran, I think she shouldn’t and could do more good in the role she currently plays.

Secondly, also similarly to the author, I am coming around to the idea that I think she SHOULD run.

There is one thing he and I disagree on, however. He says, “Would she win? Probably not,...”. I am beginning to think she would win. And the reason is due to things like what I see in this thread:
Systemic global crisis - 2011: The ruthless year, at the crossroads of three roads of global chaos http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2659926/posts

IOW, by the end of this year, I don’t think we’ll recognize this country. Urkel will be performing in a completely different world, and one much worse than the one we are in today, just as the world today is worse than it was last year, only the difference will be far greater.
